First let me tell you guys were Im at with this rifle and were I would like to be. Standard Rem700p in 300 ultra. It is pillared and glassed in a mcmillan M40 stock with defensive edge cheek pieace. Glass is Nightforce as is the base and rings. Surefire muzzlebreake up front. The load it shooting best is 87gr of H1000 with 210gr vld at 2830. The load was worked over and over with pressure signs on everything higher than the 87gr and went up to 89.5gr. Im getting .65 groups on average with this combo. I shoot this gun more than anything else but it does see heavy use during elk season with clients. I want to get this gun out to 1500 yards as 1000 is very doable for me at this point. Wieght and barrel lenght are not any of my concerns just how well she shoots. So if Im going to put on a new tube what do you guys think i should go with? Brand, length, twist, and contour. I want to stick with the 210 berger or bigger matchkings. Feel free to through out anything else you guys have in mind I know there is a wealth of on knowlege on this site. Maybe some people who you guys feel would be good for the job. Im in Nevada so someone close would be great. Also what am I looking at for time and cash on this job?
